Fine watchmaking and private concierge service: how our EMERA partnership provides access to untraceable parts

May 25, 20263 min read

EMERA, an independent Swiss watchmaker, is our exclusive partner. Flying tourbillon, ultra-limited editions, in-house calibers — how we provide access to pieces that are not on the open market.

A UHNWI collector looking for an exceptional piece knows that it cannot be found in a display case. The rarest timepieces circulate in private circles, between collectors, trusted dealers and independent houses. Our partnership with EMERA — a Swiss watchmaker specializing in complications and rare pieces — is one of the most exclusive accesses we offer to our customers.

EMERA: an exceptional watchmaking house

EMERA is not a consumer brand. It is an independent Swiss watchmaking house, founded on a radical philosophy: to create timepieces that push the boundaries of artisanal fine watchmaking. Their creations — the Cyborg CY 06-1 with its flying tourbillon and its carbon scale dial, the Sentinel SV1 with its tripartite architecture and its balance wheel inclined at 20° — are objects of mechanical art produced in ultra-limited series.

What makes EMERA unique in the watchmaking landscape:

  • Manufacture calibers — movements designed and assembled in-house (MRA 01-2, MRA 02-1)
  • Ultra-limited series — each reference is produced in less than 25 copies
  • Haute watchmaking finishes — hand beveling, mirror polishing, artisanal engraving
  • Access by confidential appointment only — no store, no e-commerce site

What our partnership opens up to our customers

Priority access to new references

Our customers are informed in advance of new EMERA creations. When a new reference is announced, they have priority access to reservation — before the piece is offered to the general network of collectors.

Our experts organize private meetings with EMERA master watchmakers. These sessions allow the customer to discover the movements, understand the complications, and personalize certain elements (choice of case material, personalized engraving, custom bracelet).

Sourcing rare coins on the secondary market

Beyond EMERA, our network of trusted collectors and dealers allows us to source rare pieces on the secondary market: Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, F.P. Journe, A. Lange & Söhne. Each piece is authenticated, appraised and delivered by hand.

Why does a collector use a concierge service

A UHNWI collector does not lack means — he lacks time and access. The most desirable pieces are never publicly announced. They circulate by word of mouth, in circles of trust. Our role is to be in these circles — and to represent our clients there with the discretion they expect.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have to be a concierge customer to access EMERA parts?

Yes. Access to new EMERA references and personalized watch advice is reserved for customers of our concierge service. This is the very nature of an exclusive partnership.

Can you source watches from other brands?

Absolutely. Our network covers the main fine watchmaking houses: Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, F.P. Journe, A. Lange & Söhne, and many others.

How do you guarantee the authenticity of the pieces?

Each piece is appraised by an independent certified watchmaker. We provide a certificate of authenticity, provenance history, and a secure transaction guarantee.
